Well, that is true, but, when you look at the numbers, you will see that raising goats is more profitable and better in every matter than keeping these three. First of all, goats give milk, meat, leather, fur, and dung. On the other hand, these three breeds give meat, while only cow gives us milk, and only sheep gives the wool. And pigs? They are only used for their meat and that’s all. By raising goats, you get three in one.

The second thing is the expenses you would have. Each of these animals has different nutrition and require different care, which means that you will spend more time and money than with goats.

And the third, but also the most important thing of all, the products of goats, even though not that much in demand, but are much healthier than any of these other’s farm breeds, especially the milk. The only reason why people don’t rush into stores or on farms to buy fresh goat products is the lack of knowledge the society in general has regarding these creatures.

Their biggest pros are the milk. First of all, it is a lot healthier. It lacks in proteins that cause milk allergy that is very frequent for toddlers, which is why their parents completely forbid every milk product even though, especially kids, need it because of their proper growth and development. Besides that, goat milk is digested a lot easier than the cow milk, the percentage of fat is low, and the most important, goat milk is completely TBC free.

If you are looking forward to bringing the whole production to the next level, you will be happy to know that, even in this case, it is more profitable for you to raise goats. The amount of milk is being counted by comparing the body mass to the milk production ability.
While cows produce 5-6 times milk as their body mass, the goat produces about 10 times as much milk as their body mass. Although the body mass of cows is bigger than with goats, these results are still remarkable.
